Abstract
This study examines the effect of psychological contract breach (PCB) on employee happiness at work while also assessing the intervening influence of thriving on this relationship. In addition, we investigate the impact of relational resources on employee happiness and thriving at work. The survey generated 131 responses yielding a response rate of 53% and with the help of regression model and Conformatory factor analysis results are deduced. Our study contributes to the PCB literature by highlighting the negative impact of unmet expectations and promises on employee happiness at work, through their impact on employee ability to thrive at work. Our results also suggest that support from colleagues at work can boost employee thriving and happiness. Implications for research and practice are presented.
